Recent research and the current scenario as well as future market potential of “Diabetic Shoes Market – Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2016 – 2024” globally.

Diabetes can be described as a disease, which is marked by high levels of blood glucose resulting from defects in insulin production and insulin action. The disease has become a global epidemic leading to serious complications and ultimately resulting in premature death. Diabetes affects several organs of the body including eyes, kidneys, heart. However, it has been observed that the feet in particular are affected due to damage done to the nerves without immediate/early detection. People suffering from diabetes suffer from feet ulceration that results are usually associated with high treatment expenses.

The global diabetic shoes market is expected to witness a steady growth during the forecast period due to the increasing incidence of diabetes globally. Rising skin related problems in the feet due to diabetes is another reason that is triggering the demand for diabetic shoes. The physicians prescribe diabetic footwear to the patients suffering from diabetes in order to prevent all feet related complications. Owing to high level of comfort and convenience of wearing the diabetic shoes, the global market is expected to grow steadily throughout the forecast period.

Later on, it was seen that foot has become a complex biomechanical and anatomical structure. Therefore, a complete study of the feet was essential in order to make a diabetic shoe in order to prevent the foot injury. Therapeutic or diabetic shoes are specifically designed to reduce the problems in the feet of the person suffering from diabetes. Diabetes create changes in the skin of the foot due to the damaged nerves, which are no longer functional and prevents moisture and oil secretions. Increasing awareness about the presence of diabetic shoes in the market and the increasing need to lead a healthy lifestyle is one of the key factors propelling the growth of the diabetic shoes market across the globe.

Diabetic footwear is prescribed by physicians to reduce the complications of a person suffering from diabetes. The consumers must be aware that the diabetic shoe matches the size of the foot and also the shoe has enough room for the toes at the sides and front as well as the top so that the pressure of the shoe are not felt. People with diabetes are highly prone to disrupted blood circulation to the foot resulting due to nerve damage. Disrupted blood circulation results to loss of sensation in the foot, thus causing wounds or ulcers that take a fair amount of time to heal. However, lack of awareness among the consumers regarding the benefits of diabetic shoes is restraining the global diabetic shoes market. Moreover, increasing brand presence and roles of e-commerce are generating opportunities to the diabetic shoes market in recent years and this growth is expected to boost the global diabetic shoes market during the forecast period.

However, diabetic shoes, although act as a convenience for the patients suffering from diabetes, they however, does not help reduce the same. Diabetic shoes are used to comfort the consumers inducing proper blood circulation compared to a patient wearing a regular shoe. Consumers largely resort to the consumption of medicines for treating diabetes and various other alternatives, which is why a large portion of the diabetic population refrain themselves from purchasing diabetic shoes, which in turn is a major factor hindering the growth of the diabetic shoes market at present. Moreover, the price of diabetic shoes are on the higher end which another reason that is refraining the consumers falling in the low and middle income category from purchasing diabetic shoes. This is another reason for the consumers to stick to medicinal treatment and related treatments instead of diabetic shoes. However, with rising awareness, the impact of this restraint is expected reduce during the forecast period.
